Makita PK5011C Instruction Manual page 5

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to
the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding Operation:
16. Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
17. Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc

recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
Additional safety warnings:
18. Always use a sanding disc or offset diamond
wheel specifically designed for wet operation.
19. Always install the dust cover before operation.
20. Make sure that the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
22. Ground Fault
protection should be provided on the circuit(s)
or outlet(s) to be used for the tool. Receptacles
are available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of safety.
23. For additional protection against electric
shock, be sure to WEAR RUBBER GLOVES
AND RUBBER BOOTS during operation.
